'Fine Arts,' 1936-1946 & 1946-1956 The United States was celebrating its 200th Birthday the last time the American Freedom Train rolled down the rails. The Freedom Train traveled 25,833 miles, through all 48 contiguous states, over 21 months and more than 7 million visitors viewed its 512 artifacts that represented the heritage of this great land of ours. With the cooperation of Museum of the American Freedom Trains, K-LINE’s highly detailed and accurate model of the Freedom Train arrives at a time when Americans are proud to display their patriotism and love of country.

The heart of the American Freedom Train was the 10 display cars. These cars contained the collected artifacts of American history and featured a moving walkway through the interiors of the cars to transport the 7 million past the exhibits. The inside displays were arranged by subject matter, for example Exploration and Expansion, Sports and Fine Arts. The exterior displays were based on 10 year periods of American History. The conveyor side of each car had two panels of two-dimensional artwork while the other side had shadow boxes containing three-dimensional artwork and artifacts from that time period. The exterior of the train was designed so that people could watch the train go by and still experience the spectacle and history of the American Freedom Train.

With patriotism running high, there is no better way to show pride in America than with this model of the American Freedom Train.
